By Allyson Dix, Jobe Publishing, Inc.
Crystal Onyx Cave is celebrating its 60th anniversary on Thursday and visitors can take advantage of a 60% discount on the entry fee by just wishing them happy anniversary!
In commemoration of 60 years, the family owned and operated business looks forward to seeing you on Thursday. Just say, “Happy Anniversary of 60 years C.O.C.” at the entrance.
Gary Russell with Crystal Onyx Cave told Jobe Publishing, Inc. that the entire staff is excited to celebrate the milestone this week.
Located at 425 Prewitts Knob in Cave City, Crystal Onyx Cave opened for tours in 1965. It was originally discovered in 1960 by Cleon Turner and with help from Ray Gossett, who financed the development, trails, stairs, and bridges were built.
The cave was ultimately closed after Cumberland Cellular purchased the property that houses towers at the top of the Knob in 2009. Then, Scott and Sarah Sendtko became the next owners and renovated and expanded the business, including the opening of new areas inside the cave. It officially reopened in May 2018.
Even marriages have been held inside the cave dating as far back as 1967 at a depth of 260 feet underground.
